Really good Service and Cleanliness

helpful staff diverse buffet dog-friendly accommodation large room
I found the staff lovely and helpful. The food presented a diverse buffet with something for everyone. I was allowed to bring my dog, which I found wonderful. The hotel provided a nice, clean, large room.
I found that the hotel rooms could benefit from modernisation. Some aspects felt a little dated.
